Namikaze legend

Chapter 6:Training and Bonding

Jiraya had seen many things in his life. He had been threw two great ninja wars, had seen the best as well as the worst faces of the human race. He had seen how kind as well as cruel humanity was.

During his long life he had met many people, some were good, some were bad, some were strange while some were outright evil.

He had trained four students, three of whom had died in war. His heart still broke whenever he thought about those three magnificent kids whom he had trained during the third great ninja war.

But still he was a shinobi and he had to endure. He still believed that his fourth student Minato Namikaze, the Fourth Hokage of Konoha was the child of prophecy and was the one who would lead the world to peace.

However the Fourth Great Ninja war was on the horizon, nations were mobilizing their armies and there was no sign of peace anywhere.

He was curious as to why he had been summoned to Mount Myoboko. There were not many times when he was called by the toads.

It was mostly when the Great Toad Elder had to make a prophecy.

That thought alone made Jiraya nervous, whenever the Elder made a prophecy the entire shinobi world would change, for better or for worse he was not sure about.

Standing in front of him were Fukasaka-sama and his wife Lady Shima. They both were the most senior toads in the entire toad clan after the Great Elder. They were also his teacher and partners in fighting.

"Why do you think the Great Elder has called me?" asked Jiraya curiously

"It is regarding the prophecy Jiraya-boy." said Fukasaka sagely

"Do any of you know something about it?" asked Jiraya, if there was anything the elder told someone it was these two.

"No, the stubborn old geezer just told us to summon you here. I bet he is getting more senile with each passing day." said Shima irritatingly

Shima didn't like the elder toad much, he was a stubborn old geezer. Although he was huge in size, he was a lazy old frog who just used to smoke all day. He used to blabber things from time to time but since he was the elder they had to listen to him. Shima didn't like when someone interuppted her cooking and this time the stubborn geezer had called her right during the middle of it.

That had really pissed her off.

"Maa, have some respect for the great elder!" chided Fukasaka

"You, Shut up!" said Shima irritatingly

"These two..." thought Jiraya tiredly, although both of them were strong and wise but they always behaved like little children.

Looking at the giant figure of the elder toad, another tired sigh escaped from Jiraya's lips when he saw the elder sleeping off peacefully. He could have written his Icha Icha : Forest Edition. Millions of his fans were waiting, but no! He had to wait for a stubborn old geezer to wake up.

"Its going to be a long day..."

(Konoha)

Minato and Naruto stood on the opposite sides of the training ground. Naruto had a serious look in his eyes and Minato was happy to see that his son was not a person who would take his training less seriously.

"Alright, Naruto now since your mother has taught you how to access your chakra, I'll teach you how to control it." instructed Minato seriously

"Control my chakra?" asked Naruto confusedly

"Yes, in order to perform any ninjutsu or genjutsu you need to first of all have a good control over your chakra. A jutsu is a combination of your physical and spiritual energy and they are executed through the application of hand seals. In order to do that I'll teach you chakra control exercises." explained Minato briefly
